When launching qemu with -vga qxl and -spice and then connecting to it with the spice client gets me a 9x1 window with black in. I tried replacing the vgabios-qxl.bin with the one from the spice qemu repo, and this got me working text mode, but when switching from text mode it seems it fails somehow, leaving a black window with a textmode cursor in the top left corner.
I built the http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/qemu branches spice.v18 and spice.kvm.v18 against the F14 spice packages, and it worked fine.
I figured it out, you must start spice with -global qxl.revision=2, because the default is otherwise 3. We need to fix that. The default should be 2.
Created attachment 447726 [details] bugfix Oops, forgot to flip the default pci id from unstable to stable. Attached patch fixes it. Fix also pushed to the spice.14 branch @ freedesktop. For the time being (until new package builds are available) you can add '-global qxl.revision=2' to the qemu command line.
